Every American knows there are government expenses that are absolutely not necessary. I disagree with the very idea that our government is spending $2.4 trillion in the most efficient manner.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The American people need to know that money is being used effectively because frankly, the nation can't afford careless spending, no matter how well-intentioned.
We are not spending the Federal Government's money, we are spending the taxpayer's money, and it must be spent n a way which guarantees his money's worth and yields the fullest possible benefit to the people being helped.
We are spending more as a percentage of our entire economy, almost 25 percent, than we have spent at any time since the end of World War II.
A budget matters to Americans who can't afford to see their taxes go up or lose the jobs that would be destroyed in the process.
Instead of raising taxes as some would insist, we need to reduce waste and inefficiency in government.
We say that anytime budgets are balanced and an ample savings account has been set aside, government should just stop collecting taxes. Better to leave that money in the pockets of those who earned it, than to let it burn a hole, as it always does, in the pockets of government.
We sincerely believed that we don't tax too little in Washington. We spend too much.
It is time for us to insist that we are accountable for the money that we are spending.
Trillions of dollars are being spent in the name of 'saving' the economy: bailouts, 'stimulus,' omnibus spending bills, budgets, government takeovers of the auto, health care and energy industries, all of which require ever more spending.
We should reduce total government spending as a percentage of the economy.
